Beyond Chaos – A DiceRPG [1000.1] Y04 Completed – QNA

[1000.1] Y04 Completed – QNA

I had a lot of fun writing Year 04, but I have huge regrets. One of those regrets as limiting myself to 100 chapters, because I felt like I had so much to write for it, a lot of it fluff, that's for sure, but a lot of really important scenes between various characters. Unfortunately, so of the characters didn't get to shine, and though I could have written more 2-3K chapters, it was rather draining to write so much for a single chapter. I'm still working on my health, and very recently I've seen quite a few changes! I say that while having accidentally cut my finger, so writing is rather painful...

If you read the last chapter's end segnt, you'll see that I said Y05 is the most important year for the entire story. It is. The first half of Y05 is very slow, for a multitude of reasons, and you'll notice that the story's tone will shift pretty early on, and Adam' priorities are shifting. I won't say any more, because I don't want to spoil the most important year, but patrons, who are about 40 chapters ahead, will know why.

I originally said that I was changing things so that each year was going to be 100 chapters, but that is very difficult with all the fluff, and other non fluff things, I want to include. I wanted to write this story with each chapter being roughly 1500 words, though I have been writing closer to 2000, and this year's average was about 2300 or so. My philosophy was that each chapter should be read in about 10 minutes over a lunch break, and I wanted to post daily chapters. I think, rather than 100 chapters, I'll let each year be as long as it needs to be, rounding to the nearest 50th chapter. I was originally thinking 100th, but if the story ends up at 20, I can very easily write 30 chapters in a fun and engaging way for an arc, but 80? That's far too diffiult.

With the 1500 word chapters, I won't need to take many breaks, but I will still, because each ti I do, my story pops off in the algorithm, and I think it may help with being able to actually take breaks appropriately. I will, however, end up posting up more, because I'll feel bad about it, so, I'll remind you again about my patreon deal, in which I'll post up an additional chapter for every new patron! Also, in the future, I'll definitely have goals where I'll post up additional chapters weekly once I can maintain a certain subscription goal. For example, 20 paid patrons = 8 chapters weekly instead of 7, and so on.

You know what. I'll do that. I'll make that a goal for patreon. 20 paid patrons and I'll post up double chapters on a day. Which day would you like it? Mondays, so you have sothing to look forward to every Monday?

Anyway, enough of my shilling, thank you all for your support, truly. Even if you don't/can't spend a penny, the comnts that you leave really do fuel to keep writing. I have been honoured that so of you have felt to use my world for your own campaign, and though I have thought about making a little pamphlet on information about my world, I'm not entirely sure what to do for it, so that may take a few months or years as I figure sothing out for you.

If you have any questions, go ahead and post them! I'll spoiler my answers for anything with a spoiler, and if it's a big spoiler, I might choose to be vague about it. I love to answer questions, but sotis they are answered in the next few chapters, but now that the book's over, I'm sure there are so unanswered questions!

The "Goals, Promises" post should be up!
